Hallowed Defenders

Hallowed Defenders are a set of items with a required character level of 60. Gathering pieces of the set and equipping them will bestow the player with bonuses, depending on how many set items are equipped.

Players must find the Plan: Hallowed Defenders and teach it to the Blacksmith before these items are available to craft. The plan may drop randomly from any targets (monsters, chests, goblins, etc) of around level 42.

Items created with this plan will always be level 60; they do not scale up with level or to the level of the character creating them. They are therefore useful around the minimum level requirement, but will soon go obsolete as gear improves at higher levels.

Each piece is crafted separately with the Fiery Brimstone the main bottleneck on crafting. Since each piece has a considerable amount of randomness in the possible affixes, players will often need to recraft a piece several times to get a high quality roll.

Though there are six items in the set, no class can equip more than two at a time. Crusaders, Wizards, Witch Doctors, and Demon Hunters must use a weapon and the shield. Barbarians and Monks can do that, or dual wield with the axe plus their class-restricted item.
